UGA Emergency Notification
Methods

The following methods may be used to notify the campus community of various emergencies that may impact students, staff and faculty on the Athens campus of the University of Georgia.

  • UGA Alert is UGA’s emergency mass notification system that is capable of sending thousands of messages within minutes through e-mail, SMS text message and phone calls. Make sure your emergency information is correct and stays up to date by logging onto the system. The system will only be used when there is a severe threat to the public safety and health of the entire campus that has not been contained or controlled, and when immediate action is required. The UGA Alert phone number reflected on your caller ID will be (706) 542-0111. UGA Alert Desktop is available for UGA students, faculty and staff to install on their computers through EITS’s software page. Any UGA employees who need help installing the UGA Alert app on their desktop are advised to contact their department’s IT staff for assistance.
  • The campus-wide email notification system Arch News can rapidly send information to all faculty, staff, and students on campus. It is typically utilized to provide campus-wide general announcements, lane closures, crime updates, and inclement weather closings.
